Autonomous vehicles originated from a mechanical engineering perspective, viewed as cars. However, for a car, the automation of the machine itself is not crucial; it can only function effectively by accounting for the road it drives on. The road we are traveling on today has not been constructed overnight; rather, it is the result of interactions with individuals that have led to the development of roads for humans, wagons, and cars. Therefore, for autonomous vehicles to operate fully on the road, both automobile automation and the necessary road infrastructure for autonomous driving must be developed in accordance with this automation. However, roads do not change easily overnight. For autonomous vehicles to truly achieve autonomy, we must reconsider the relationship between cause and effect. When cause and effect are reversed, the problem is never solved. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Since 2008, the US CDC has published annual flu reports aimed at preventing the spread of influenza nationwide. Researchers took two weeks to compile data on each flu outbreak by calculating the number of cases and generating a report. Meanwhile, the flu had already spread across the country. Google addressed this issue by analyzing search query statistics. However, an error emerged in 2013 when the flu vaccine became scarce, prompting the media to publish numerous flu-related articles that further distorted the situation by conflating the search terms for flu patients. In other words, accurate data analysis depends on the ability to interpret quality, untainted data and its context. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
